Join me as I talk with Maria of Twist and Curves. Maria Thompson has been a Licensed Cosmetologist and an Artistic Afrocentric Braid Designer/Instructor for the past 30 years. Maria has been a creative influence as the industry has evolved with a wide range of techniques and styles to meet the needs of a growing and diverse customer base.
